PANIC AT THE CIRCUS.
Caused by Pistol Shots From Row
dy Negros and Whites.

One of the most d igraceful and
at 'gether DANGEROUS rows that ev-
er disturbed Albany, occurred up,
on the breaking ap of the circus,
on Mondsy night. Ii seems t. at
Charley Woodward colord whose
home is in Eulaula, while escort.
ing oolord girl, accidentally step.
ped on Joe Lowry's toe. Charley
begged pardon and walked on.
Immediately therefore Jow Lowry,
Henry Sanders and George
Brown three rowdy Negro boys
Of the city assaulted Charley with
sticks who drew his pisol and fired
four shots into the crowd.
The dense crowd around be-
came panic stricken. aid several
drew pistols and fred into the
air, which intenmfied the excite
ment. A stamped ensued in
which several were more or less
bruised. Two Negro spectators,
Ale- Bostic and an unknown re-
ceived stray shots in their legs.
No bones broken.
The police we're active in quel-
ling the disturbance, and arrested
all the parties concerned in the row
end placed them in Jail, where
they are confined awaiting their
commitment trial.
Charley Woodward's chief of
fence is in having a concealed pis-
tol and firing it in the crowd,
endangering the lives of innocent
people, and he should be dealt
with as vigorously as the law will
permit. The young Negro bucks
who started the row, deserve
greater punishment than Charley,
and it is to be hoped that each one
will be given every hour in the
police service that the nature Of
their crimes will admit Of.
The crifheof carrying concealed
weapons is the father of num-
erous progeny Of crimes that dis
grace the civilization of this age,
and it shonld be stopped if the ex>
ecution of the laws On the statute
book viii accomplish it.
Those who joined is the fusiIa1e
on Monday night, thus intesifying
tie a'arm and increasing the danger
are very culpable themselves, and
should be dealt with for carrying
concealed weapons.

Some Notable Trees.

A plum tree in the aear,1en Of
Thomas O'Connor Of HOLIDAYS
burg, Penn, that bore an album
dant crop this season was recently
again il full bloom.
John Capnra, of Oroville, CAL,
took from a white OK heart cherry
tree this season $500 pounds Of
fruit The tree il sixty feet high,
six feet in circumfence, and eigh-
teen years old.
In the heart of an oak that A S
McKensie, ofNorris City, ILL.,, was
splitting into rails recently, was
found dirk hunting knife, with
u long, slender blade and neatly
engraved handle 1t was in good
state Of preservation.
AID ingenious plan to save a dy>
ing pear tree was adopted in the
garden of L NJ Chase, of Boston.
The mice had girdled the tree so
that it seemed bound to die. Mr..
Chase planted four small trees
around it aud close to it, cut off
the tops, pointed the ends, and
making missions in the bark of the
pear, bent the small trees aud
grated them to the dying trunk.
They all lived, and that tree draws
its nourishment from the small
ones. This season a bushel of
handsome pears were taken from
it.-New York Sun'1

The anti-prohibitionists carried

Governor Gordon's Good Work.

The Philadelphia Press Of cue

Gov. Gordon, of Georgia. has
made some enemies by imposing a
fine OF 5000 upon the companies
leasing convict labor in that State,
because of their cruelty to the men
in their charge, but they are enc
mics to be proud Of For every
such enemy he may count upon
making thousand friends in the
country at large.
In no feature of Gov. Gordon's
successful administration has hs
won more hearty and general APP

tne Affairs ofthe Arrow Steamsh n
Company with its new ship yard
Ihat was to revive the moribupd
industries Of old Alexandria, are
being discussed in the papers, at,
tentlon is naturally Grawn to Mr..
Robert 81 Fryer, the designer of
the Pocahontas. That vessel is
expected, if built, to be a wonder
IN the way OF speed, a smasher of
records IN ocean vsyages. but Mr..
Fryer who is very ingenious and
especially fertile in nautical inven-
tions, has designed another vessel
which would create more comment
than the arrowy Poachontas.
The sketch given ia from the
official drawings of the patent Of
tiee, showing vessel invented by
Robert NJ Fryer and officially des-
ignated as a new and useful i'm
provenent' in buoyant propellar
ships. This is the pleasant way in
which the patent Office describes
each invention, but in this case it
does not exaggerate. One glance
at the drawing shove that it Is an
entirely new form of steamer, ard
a little investigation reveals useful
ness never be fore dreamed of in a
ship THAT ploughs the wa
ter
Exactly what would be its atti-
tude in storm we cannot tell. but

gigantic wheels, high and dry. A
VESSEL making a voyage with a
dry keel is sOmthing never seen

these propellers-there are three,

stern is globe,shaped and arraag-
ed to support the weight of the

ment any mariner who ever trod a

But half its novelty and useful
ness has nat been told. The first
glance at the picture gives one an
impression Of some sort OF mixture,
as if a long>lcgged freight car had
merged its personality in paddles
wheel steamboat. Even so; this
ship will run on land as well as on
water. The propellers are made
with a faDae to fit rail, and it is
intended to run the vessel across
an isthmus, or any lend where a
wide track with a middle rail can
be built to accommodate it. What
possibilities are unfoldsd by such
an Invention as this? When such
awspbibious monsters are running
we can go from hicago to Liver
pool without change of cars in
fact. is it 100 much to expect Mr.
Fryer's invention to lead ts the
not distant day when solid trains
of buoyaut propeller ships will
make a trip round the world on
